Table of Contents
MARSHALL, Texas – The Marshall ISD Board of Trustees approved the district’s 2017-2018 school academic calendar during the February Regular Meeting Monday night in the Pat Smith-Gasperson Board Room.
The calendar begins with 2 ½ weeks of staff development (Aug. 10-25) in the weeks prior to the first day of school on Aug. 28. New Teacher Orientation is scheduled for Aug. 7-9. This front-loaded staff development will cut down on the amount of staff development days taken during the school year after school begins.
Grading periods are also broken down into six-week increments.
Student and staff holidays include Labor Day (Sept. 4); Thanksgiving (Nov. 20-24); Christmas/New Year’s (Dec. 25–Jan. 5); Martin Luther King Day (Jan. 15); President’s Day (Feb. 19); Spring Break (March 12-16); Good Friday (April 13); and Memorial Day (May 28).
The last day of school for the 2017-2018 school year is May 30.
Early Release days for students are scheduled for Friday, Sept. 22; Friday, Dec. 22; and Thursday, Feb. 8.
The approved academic calendar will be posted on the district’s website at www.marshallisd.com this week.
